Of course hitmen are real. Governments have them, gangs have them, you could hire one yourself with the right connections. As with anything there are varying degrees of professionalism, but of course they exist.

I dunno about ones in the movies, but some guys at my dad's office (he's a parole supervisor in Detroit) are former military and were in gangs and did jobs. They copped a deal for information and are on parole now.
